But no need to waste your money on that! Learned this from klaire a fantastic makeup Guru!
sharing with you this neat DIY illamasqua nail quills that is super easy!

You'll Need:

Scissor
Tape
Fake Nails
Silver Varnish
Black Varnish
Top Coat (nail polish)
Nail File

Step 1:

File each nail to have even and smooth edges.

Step 2:

Mark where your nail would end if you have/had short nails,

it dosen't matter what kind of pen you use to mark the nail,

it's just a guideline so that you know where to cut the nail.

Step 3:

Cut the nail from the outer mark to the inner point.

Step 4:

You can leave the edges with an angle if you want

but I'm going to file down the edges with a nail file (soft side)

as I'm not too fond of having the sides pointy.

Step 5:

Take a black nail varnish (or just use any colour you want) and paint the edges.

Apply at least 2 thick coats of black nail varnish over them.

give the first coat around 5 minutes to dry and for the second coat

Let them Dry!

Step 6:

Take the slices of tape and apply them like this across the nail. Now the Illamasqua Nail Quills had a much sharper angle to the silver part of the nail but I wanted to make it a bit differently. If you want the nail quills to look more accurate just angle it more :)

Step 7:

Apply a silver Nail Varnish over the end of the nail, starting at the end of the nail and then working your way down. Be careful not to have too much nail varnish on the brush!!

Step 8:

Don't risk removing the tape till you are sure the silver nail varnish is dry. Go watch a film or something while you're waiting, you don't want to mess up at this point and if dry ready to remove the tape gently.
